Smithey No. 12 Flat Top Griddle

While it is precision-engineered to serve as a custom-fit lid for the Smithey No. 12 Skillet, it may not create a perfect seal on other brands of 12-inch skillets due to variations in rim design.

The griddle comes pre-seasoned with grapeseed oil, providing a reliable foundation for non-stick performance. Like all high-quality cast iron, the surface will become increasingly slick and seasoned the more you use it.

Yes, the flat cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops, as well as ovens and outdoor grills.

Avoid the dishwasher, as it will strip the seasoning and potentially cause rust. Simply hand wash with warm water and a mild soap, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil after each use to maintain the finish.

The flat design is optimized for pancakes, eggs, and searing, but it lacks a perimeter grease trap. If you are cooking high-fat items, be mindful that grease will remain on the cooking surface.

At 7 pounds, it has a substantial, professional feel that provides excellent heat retention. The integrated handles are designed for a secure grip, though you should always use a towel or oven mitt as they will get hot.
